NAMEoffsetof − offset of a structure member
LIBRARYStandard C library (libc, −lc)
SYNOPSIS#include <stddef.h>size_t offsetof(type, member);
DESCRIPTIONThe macro offsetof() returns the offset of the field member from the start of the structure type. This macro is useful because the sizes of the fields that compose a structure can vary across implementations, and compilers may insert different numbers of padding bytes between fields. Consequently, an element's offset is not necessarily given by the sum of the sizes of the previous elements. A compiler error will result if member is not aligned to a byte boundary (i.e., it is a bit field).
RETURN VALUEoffsetof() returns the offset of the given member within the given type, in units of bytes.
STANDARDSPOSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.
EXAMPLESOn a Linux/i386 system, when compiled using the default gcc(1) options, the program below produces the following output: $ ./a.out
offsets: i=0; c=4; d=8 a=16
sizeof(struct s)=16
Program source #include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int
main(void)
{
struct s {
int i;
char c;
double d;
char a[];
};
/* Output is compiler dependent */
printf("offsets: i=%zu; c=%zu; d=%zu a=%zu\n",
offsetof(struct s, i), offsetof(struct s, c),
offsetof(struct s, d), offsetof(struct s, a));
printf("sizeof(struct s)=%zu\n", sizeof(struct s));
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
